Activate NIS authentication

Question posted by: paul (Guest) on July 31st, 2008 10:35 AM

Hi,
i have NIS running on aix 5.3 and i want to allow NIS users to access db2
9.1 fp5 on this server.
I've searched the infocenter but with no luck.
If i add users with the control center, i don't see the NIS users but only
local account. I've tried with SQL "grant dbadm on database to NIS_user" but
the user can"t connect.
What is the procedure to add nis user?

thx for your help
Paul

Hi Paul,

Due to http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoc...oc/c0024980.htm
you can noticed, that NIS is depreciated. You can switch in on by
setting DB2_ENABLE_SINGLE_NIS_GROUP variable, but it is not
recommended. You should use LDAP instead of.
